Our condolences to all of Uncle Len's family & friends. It was always a pleasure to visit with him & Aunt Sybil and I never left without learning something new. All great memories of a good man.

We wish to extend our sincere condolences to Anne and Clyde and families. Len and Sybil were very special friends and neighbors to our parents , Joyce and Alvin Minto. Len and Sybil extended much kindness and hospitality over the years. They loved to entertain. Len and other family members provided wonderful music and Sybil provided a banquet of food on many occasions. Len called us a few months ago to tell us he was "still kicking " and to check on how we were. We hope that your many good memories will help you through your loss.

I will never forget you Dad.You will be in our hearts forever.

Deepest Sympathy to All the Family in the Loss of a Great Man.

To Ann and Clyde and families;
It's been a tough year for the family this year. We were so appreciative of the support you gave us so recently when Dad (Walter) passed away, and now that Uncle Len has followed, our losses have become all the more poignant. I shall always cherish the memories of Uncle Len for the musical gift he shared with us at family gatherings, his wonderful smile and willingness to talk with you, and even one special memory of he and his brothers meeting in his garage to pound cabbage in an earth crock for home-made sauerkraut! Please know that our thoughts and love are with you all and I shall forever cherish the many memories of this wonderful man.

Anne, Doug and family
I'm so sorry for your loss. You've told us so many wonderful stories of your dad. May those precious memories give you comfort now.

So many people loved you Dad. You will never be forgotten and will live in our hearts forever. Thank you so much for just being you. To all those people who have helped us get through this, we thank you sincerely. You are the greatest. Anne, Doug & family

So sad to hear of "uncle Leonard"( as I knew him) passing. I have many happy memories of him especially in my young life when we would visit or my dad would have him helping on any number of different "project" often at our farm. I remember him as one of the gentlest men I knew. He always had a smile and time to talk...I can see him in yet in his coveralls working and visiting all the while with my dad, who I know valued him greatly not only as a cousin, but as a trusted friend. I am grateful for my memories of him and hope that all of you memories bring you comfort as well.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Len I adored him and Sybil very much sending hugs,prayers and sincere condolences to you Anne,Doug&Elliott and extended Families Len will be missed

Dear Doug and Anne
Our thoughts are with you these days. You will have many good memories but will still miss dad.
Love to you both also Anne Marie and Elliott.
As always Doug and Alice

To the Family of Len Sommerfeld:
If you were searching for an example of someone who was a "Prince of a Guy", Len would be that person.
Through my Dad, I knew of Len and his brother Ron but when I worked for Oren Wilson, I had the good fortune to get to know Len a lot better.
Len was one of those people who could turn your day around with his ever present smile and engaging persona. So sad that he is gone.
Sincere sympathy.

Our thoughts go out to Anne and family. It was a pleasure to met your dad. His laugh and smile will be remembered.

Anne and Doug:
We are saddened for the loss of your dad. Your dad to me was always Mr. Sommerfeld even though he told me many times to call him Len, I jsut couldn't do that. Mr. Sommerfled was a great man and was always interested in what I was doing in my life, I feel others could say the same. Losing a parent is never easy and we are thinking of you and Clyde and extended family during this difficule time. Stay strong the way Mr. Sommerfelf would want you all to do.
Luv
Hugh and Bernie.

That was a wonderful write up. My family and I enjoyed our many visits with him and the Sunday morning breakfasts. We feel blessed to be a part of this great family. Although he will be missed I will always look back at those times with fond memories.

Our sympathies to Len's family. We fondly remember his musical contributions to the family reunions and get-togethers.
Clay and Lynn Gilbert

My deepest condolences to each and everyone of Len's family. It is never easy to say goodbye but with the reminder of all his accomplishments and treasured memories, I sincerely hope your can find some comfort in the upcoming days. Talk freely of his wonderful life and he will remain with you always.

Our condolences to all the families. May
Leonard rest in peace!
